France is trying to kill ideas by punishing people who express them.

Here in the US, it is possible to speak honestly about the holocaust. There is plenty of evidence proving that it occurred. See, for instance, the book Hitler's Willing Executioners, by Daniel Goldhagen, and Story of a Secret State, by Jan Karski.

However, no honest statements about that question are possible in a country such as France, that imposes censorship on the subject.

France also bans free discussion of the question of the genocide of the Armenians.
